The police Of Berlin are only ON duty
during the day. At night the capital is
confded to the care of the night watch
ers, who are under the orders of the
president of police, wear special uni
form and are furnished with a whistle
and sword. Their service last from 10
to o'clock, according to the season.
They number about 500, while the police
men number $500; fifty of them are
mounted. All the policemen are old non
commissioned officers, tall, well formed
men, who have served many years in the
army, and only those who have been
noticed for their good conduct, their
zeal and faithfulness, are eligible for this
duty. The people respect them and are
on good terms with them. Sometimes
they act as if they were still in the army
and are somewhat brusque. The people
arc accustomed to submit to these men.
and at parade one policeman is all that
IS required to maintain order. The NOR
ality of these men is excellent; they are
upheld by the people and by their supe-
riors and every fault or negligence is pun
ished. They know how and when to
punish as well as to protect. Cor.

amateur from Lyons. y has given to

pays half the cost of f(s construction of

The money expen(2, .hus far has been

by the state. On the first floor will be
placed the Chinese and Japanese ceramics,
on the second f~0r Japanese and Chinese

will be in the cupola.
For the moment the strange bibelots
are arranged without order in an apart

On the walls rakemonos, Japanese

specimens of Chinese fabrication. In one
corner Hindoo divinities in bronze, wood
and nodded sand; in another a superb

floating on the ocean. Near are five
manikins representing japanese scene;
then two japanese, who fight duel by
order of the emperor. They brandish
their long lances, and the sovereign s rep

surveys the combat. Behind each adver-

They Were Not Responsible.

A story is told of groceryman Of the
shrewd old Yankee stock who, on several
occasions, was surprised to find sums Of
money in his sugar. Where it came from
was mystery. 1t may have been hidden
by slaves for purpose, but for what It
would be hard to say. The storekeeper.
being too conscientious to keep the money
without trying to find an owner, and like
wise being very leth to give IL up, hit on
this plan to satisfy conscience and keep
the money. Going to the merchants of
whom he purchased the goods he inquired
whether they were responsible for the
sticks and stones and things that were in
the sugar.
"No. sir, was the reply, you must
take the sugar just as we receive It. We
are not responsible for anything in the
barrels" 1t is needless ts say that the
storekee2er did not press the matter.
